We had not seen so many hair demarcations since the 80's and the Madonna-Rosanna Arquette duo in "Desperately Seeking Susan" . At Alexander Wang and Acne Studios this year, for example, straight black roots, combined with platinum or bright red, set the tone for a new style, freer, and reinforce the aura of juvenile tops.

More surprising, the roots of the stars were posted on the most symbolic red carpet of the year: that of the Golden Globes. Kate Hudson, Margot Robbie and Diane Kruger sported a blonde with a lot of very visible regrowths.

A "neglect" cleverly thought

A feminist declaration? Probably not, according to Nathalie Azoulai, writer, author of "I do not like my hair!" (Ed .: Albin Michel), his illustrated book by Victoire de Castellane: "It looks more like another form of control, negligence watched to the millimeter, which probably requires even more work at the colourist."

It is true that the roots in question are rather flattering, as confirms Henry Olivier, hairdresser and consultant in color: "The trend is divided in two movements.Frozen roots on a platinum discoloration or a flash color, essential not to turn cyborg, or a fuzzy start, a tie-and-dye blond way drawn and brushed, which would have come up closer to the root, and in both cases they give depth to the face and hair. "

Practically, these roots save one to two months between two retouches colors. By not trying to hide them but rather to underline them, it is suggested that one fully assumes one's image, free from diktats.
